UltraAIGenomics: Artificial Intelligence-Based Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment by Fusion of Ultrasound-Based Radiomics and Genomics Features for Preventive, Personalized and Precision Medicine: A Narrative Review.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnosis and treatment are challenging since symptoms appear late in the disease's progression. Despite clinical risk scores, cardiac event prediction is inadequate, and many at-risk patients are not adequately categorised by conventional risk factors alone. Integrating genomic-based biomarkers (GBBM), specifically those found in plasma and/or serum samples, along with novel non-invasive radiomic-based biomarkers (RBBM) such as plaque area and plaque burden can improve the overall specificity of CVD risk. This review proposes two hypotheses: (i) RBBM and GBBM biomarkers have a strong correlation and can be used to detect the severity of CVD and stroke precisely, and (ii) introduces a proposed artificial intelligence (AI)-based preventive, precision, and personalized ( ) CVD/Stroke risk model. The PRISMA search selected 246 studies for the CVD/Stroke risk. It showed that using the RBBM and GBBM biomarkers, deep learning (DL) modelscould be used for CVD/Stroke risk stratification in the framework. Furthermore, we present a concise overview of platelet function, complete blood count (CBC), and diagnostic methods. As part of the AI paradigm, we discuss explainability, pruning, bias, and benchmarking against previous studies and their potential impacts. The review proposes the integration of RBBM and GBBM, an innovative solution streamlined in the DL paradigm for predicting CVD/Stroke risk in the framework. The combination of RBBM and GBBM introduces a powerful CVD/Stroke risk assessment paradigm. model signifies a promising advancement in CVD/Stroke risk assessment.
